The 13th overall selection that year was Los Angeles Kings captain Dustin Brown and you can bet the Jets would love to come home with a player of that calibre.

After choosing Mark Scheifele seventh in 2011 and Jacob Trouba ninth in 2012, it will be interesting to see what direction the Jets go when general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff steps to the podium.

Here are five players the Jets could have in their sights on Sunday afternoon:

1) C/LW Bo Horvat -- The London Knights forward was named Ontario Hockey League playoff MVP and helped his club reach the semifinal of the Memorial Cup. His offensive game is under appreciated because of all the talent that surrounded him.

"He has an underrated skill set," said Kitchener Rangers head coach Steve Spott. "He's a player that is very competitive at both ends of the rink. He's a 200-foot player and has the opportunity to go against the other team's top line every night, yet not become a natural checker."

2) RW Anthony Mantha -- The 6-foot-4 winger scored 50 goals for the Val d'Or Foreurs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and is considered one of the top snipers available.

"He's the most talented scorer in the Q," said Rimouski Oceanic head coach Serge Beausoleil. "He has big size, he's got an incredible wrist shot and if you give him an inch, he will put the puck in. He has to improve his defensive side but offensively, he's always a threat."

3) C Max Domi -- The Knights' centre and son of former Jets enforcer Tie Domi has the competitive nature, but his game features a lot more skill.

"He's a power forward with elite offensive skill, " said Spott, noting Domi's body type is similar to Phoenix Coyotes forward Mikkel Boedker. "He's tremendously strong through his core and his legs. He may not have the height, he definitely has the strength to step into the NHL next year.

"In the new game, he's going to be a player that can be used on the power play, 5-on-5, overtime, shootouts, he's really an offensive weapon. Every time he's on the ice, he's extremely dangerous."

4) D Nikita Zadorov -- The towering Knights' blue-liner is the total package and his potential will grow once he fills out his 6-foot-5 frame.

"I hate playing against him," said Spott. "He's big, he's physical. Defensively, he's come a long way and offensively, he just has that knack of getting pucks to the net and has a real good shot from the point. He's just so well-rounded."

5) C Frederik Gauthier

Sound two-way player with excellent size and defensive awareness is shooting up many draft boards after a strong season with the Rimouski Oceanic and great performance at the Under-18 tournament that saw him score the game-winning goal as Canada won a gold medal in April.

"We always start by talking about his tremendous hockey sense," said Beausoleil. "It's like having three D's when he's on the ice. He's so good with his positioning. He's got size, he's strong and also he's on the first power play."

Right after taking the job of general
manager for the Winnipeg Jets, Kevin
Cheveldayoff made it crystal clear the
construction of his roster would be a
rather arduous process and that
shortcuts weren’t going to be the
solution for an apparent lack of
organizational depth.
